Personal post coming up! 🥰 🏠 We’re selling our beautiful little cottages in Donegal- 2 really special places, side by side with incredible sea views, wildflowers everywhere and wild strawberries growing in the back garden. We bought these cottages to provide a safe haven…
On the £10 billion wasted PPE (I founded and built the org of doctors that took the Tories to court and proved the existence of the VIP PPE lane along with Good Law Project)…

Peter Geoghegan and Lucas Amin · ‘This looks absolutely rubbish’: Palantir and the NHS
A decade ago Palantir was largely unknown in the UK. It now holds public contracts worth hundreds of millions of pounds...

Is the NHS part of the problem? No of course not. Just like schools aren’t the reason for education problems. And buses aren’t the reason why people can’t get around. But what is part of the problem? Headlines like this 👇

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed receiving an email from the Daily Mail before - but this is gold! Love @CountBinface - keep it up!
Umm … why does anyone care that Nigel Farage is making a speech? He’s not in power. Just scroll past!
Was just typing ‘private healthcare sector’ and it came out ‘pirate healthcare sector’. Fair enough, to be honest.
In order to write my Substack newsletter I subscribe to lots of media across the political spectrum- it’s important to stay on top of what’s being said about the NHS. Just had an email from The Telegraph entitled “quality journalism, direct to your inbox” Ha ha ha ha ha 🤯😱🫣
The plot thickens…🚨 A senior official with strong links to the private health sector has now apologised for breaking lobbying rules. I’ve updated everyone in this piece: open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...

It’s no wonder mainstream media is imploding…
This article should explain that Keir Starmer has taken steps to advance NHS privatisation, despite pledging to remove private outsourcing when he was campaigning to become Labour leader 🚨 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Anyone listening to nasty anti-immigration rhetoric from politicians when it comes to the NHS should read this important briefing. 🚨💙 From The Health Foundation: www.health.org.uk/reports-and-...
It doesn’t feel like there’s much of a Labour leadership contest at the moment. It feels like those running the Labour Party have just chosen a man to replace Starmer because he’s become too unpopular to continue.
Speaking as someone who was an NHS doctor during Jeremy Hunt’s entire tenure as Health Secretary, I have absolutely no interest in what he has to say about the NHS. And I don’t understand why the Guardian is, either: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Just so you know, allies of Starmer, your robotic tweets saying supportive things about him today sound super robotic.
Does Rupert Lowe’s new Restore party have a *single* policy paper about the NHS?🚨 open.substack.com/pub/jujuliag...
The next Labour leader must commit to reversing NHS privatisation. Share if you agree 💙
Err I’ve just been on the Restore policy area searching for info about their policies for the NHS. Spoiler alert - there aren’t any. And what they have written about the NHS is a load of drivel. So I’m telling thousands of people about it 👍. Sign up-https://jujuliagrace.substack.com
